Great Day out. Excellent weather. Awesome drive.

Was a great drive. Thomas has given an overview of the full drive.
Thanks everyone for all the help. it was the 1st time i removed my spare tyre after i brought the fortuner.
Special thanks to Ganesh and Amin for a great drive.
Thank you for yet another great day out :drive: , Sweihan was a new playground.
The afternoon was crisp and fresh with a light rain that kept the dust down. The temperature dropping to 25 degrees :yesss: with the wet top layer of sand ensured that the windows were rolled down and the drop in temperature welcomed with open arms :ymhug: .
I was assigned to Ganesh’s convoy and was sitting out back with Paul. The drive started with a flat tyre change just as we were getting into the sands. Resources from the convoy were used to deal with it quickly. The terrain after that was spectacular with large dunes and had it not rained would ensure really soft sand.
Ganesh had briefed us that we will keep side sloping to a minimum due to the wet conditions and the resulting increased average of a roll in the sand :-w .
The drive was easy with a few second attempts from a couple of participants with just one cresting tug. Reducing the tyre pressure by 2 psi on the Jeep ensured that the true potential of the car and driver could be seen ๐ .
We came to a halt with a pop out call from out back and Sundar’s monster jack was put to good use yet again :ymapplause: :ymapplause: . As dusk was upon us it was a fast drive to the oasis and soon to the gas station amongst a lot of ha ha ha’s
Thank you :thanks: Ganesh for a great lead and Amin for keeping the watch out back :thanks: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
